i have never looked through the 2005 archives but i am so happy to have found this photo…i lovee this old man. the first time i saw him peeling potatoes in union square, he was in the most charming yellow corduroy suit.

OMG… that's right. He died. I also loved this guy. I saw him at Union Square the last time and he was a great sales man. This picture will part of a modern NYC legend. One day, many many years from now, everybody that lived in this city during the past 10 years will be talking about the charismatic guy that sold vegetable slicers in NYC and we'll have this great picture to remember him. God be with him.
